It's no secret that Major League Baseball leads professional sports leagues in its ability to connect with fans. It has found a great way to monetize its content by offering a subscription service that allows you to watch every game and keep track of stats at the same time.

Bringing the desktop favorite to the iPad was a big deal, especially since much of the functionality is intact, including layers and most of the selection tools. We reviewed the app, and in our opinion, it's still worth the money.

This app is designed for a specific group of people: agronomists, scientists who reclaim plants for things like food and fuel. Designed to eliminate paperwork in the field, it must send agronomist technophiles over the moon.

This app can make you feel like James Bond when you're on the go. You can switch lights on and off, adjust the thermostat, and basically sync it with anything at your home or apartment controlled by electricity.

This app eliminates the need for an extra GPS device in the car, which means one less thing to remember. Odds are you'll have your phone with you while traveling, so why not take advantage of the GPS capabilities and save money on other expensive hardware.

Another remote control app, Jump Desktop allows you to control your desktop computer (PC or Mac) from your tablet or smartphone. It's handy for those moments when you need to grab something off your desktop that isn't stored in the cloud.

Another app designed for a niche profession, TrialPad aims to make courtroom presentation seamless and free of technological glitches. You might be able to practice law, but this app also helps you avoid Murphy's Law.

This app developer definitely picked up on humanity's tendency to flaunt excess.
